buses at the cairo and this and saying listen brotherhood president tales from is definitely following a u.s. agenda civilian grassroots campaign called a model which means rebel who collected at least eighteen million signatures calling for the president to step down they say he's incapable of running the country we've seen no change in the last year the islamists for their part those who support the president say that all these opposition protests are in a just a mess as the president was democratically elected as egypt when this is a worsening security crisis many citizens are reaching out to private security firms to secure their homes and businesses i spoke to here in opted to maurice protest who say they expect violence and this is something that they really fear in the shadow of the bricks in the building. is preparing for the expected violence

between supporters and opponents of the egyptian president on sunday some a says he has already fortified his small shop just of kyra's to his square with sheets of iron will you still got them in my kiosk has been robbed and destroyed a few times in previous clown shoes i'm going to the keep my shop as i'm afraid of what is going to happen in the violence i don't want to lose everything again with the police taking a back seat those who can afford it. a reaching out to private security firms like this one general manager a former high ranking police officer but we add to what hip says his company is preparing for the worst as protesters demand the resignation of missing brotherhood president mohamed morsi. that went on june thirtieth there may be violence between the opposition forces and the islamists so we're sending more people to the places were guarding we're giving our staff and clients special training and information how they can secure their premises and how they deal with clashes. companies like

bees are plugging the gaps amid a deepening security crisis across the country lynchings are on the rise the latest brutal mob killing happened just a few days ago near the capital civilians are increasingly armed and protests are becoming more violent as citizens bring guns to clashes leaving many to fear for their deaths analysts say the breakdown of security is because citizens no longer favor police who have been accused of being reluctant to provide security they also blame the government which has failed to confront the interior ministry they are responsible for the bigger they're full of law and order if they don't take the necessary steps to fix it they may want to they may wish to but if they're not actually solving it the buck stops at their door it will find a very difficult to get the ministry of interior it's a reform of the police services to reform. precisely because inside the police force inside the minister of interior there are so many people that are really quite opposed to the muslim brotherhood instead of promising change president morsi

played with fire in his wednesday speech to the nation praising the police and function for their work with violence on the horizon many will be forced to attend egypt's meath riding private security industry to protect their own homes and businesses tree. kyra. meanwhile a group of secular leaning deputies have resigned from egypt's acting parliament in support of the opposition rallies that are slaves' the deck from the american university in cairo says he believes another arab spring type uprising could be imminent this because the islamist president hasn't delivered on his promises so far the president one is not the only thing the objectives of the revolution two he was to salute the thing his own good at the expense of the national interests of the country and also to defend that if if they do if they remain silent until it is still in full use egypt would become like somalia sudan

they will look and feel that egypt will be their ships and it will be sure that there's going to be her exactly like what happened in the reagan revolution islamists who wanted the society to sleep and stay put and do not intervene and lives in what the long the who on the upswing is about pouring into account the government and now before you you have to call the account the president because of the one you could deliver what people expect. no open arms from south africans for president obama who is on his crucial tour to the continent with protesters staging rallies to vent their anger at the u.s. leader south african riot police have fired stun grenades disperse angry crowds to hannover ahead of president obama's visit to the city hundreds were gathering for demonstrations against u.s.

foreign policy in pretoria and cape town as well africans had high hopes when obama became the u.s. president but some feel that those have been dashed american aid to africa has been severely cut a washington has stepped up its military operations in the region u.s. officials do say that obama's two are supposed to promote u.s. investment and to strengthen africa's democratic institutions but some in the in the south african country have a different take on the matter here's sali a pilot from the south african communist party. but we feel that the experts at our programs on the african continent for instance this. month into poti. it's an indication of where u.s. interest on the kind of good clinton and we want him to stop that. military bases all over the way that the u.s. has court in order that you can have. well it's kind of diplomatic relations as well as free to nations where they start a little closer to a system where the government getting to the usa on trade relations what we're

saying they must be cautious about this because this is this huge imbalance between which as in the us a. noting that the u.s. has more than ten times the g.d.p. of the african continent so these. are. rights to a democratic dispensation on the continent and to the tropical development that many african governments may seek to choose for themselves. of course we're about to bring you live pictures from turkey as talks him square in istanbul thousands there you are you see it right there thousands of anti-government protesters have gathered near gezi park heavy police presence at the plymouth or of the square has been reported there of course turkey has seen weeks of on rest after police broke up against a government development plan for the park again live pictures that you're seeing right there from. well moving on he was

once known as obama's favorite general but now james cartwright could be charged for exposing a u.s. cyber attack against iran the retired marine is being investigated for allegedly revealing the stuxnet virus which had the stable to nearly a thousand centrifuges at the end and pardon me iranian nuclear plants three years ago or he's going to as you can has the details for us. in two thousand and ten when the u.s. carried out this cyber attack against iran general cartwright was vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and he was reported to be one of the crucial players in this cyber attack he resigned in two thousand and eleven and he is now apparently being investigated as the leaker of that story as you remember the niek about the obama administration having carried out this cyber attack against iran came before the election last year and the timing raise a lot of questions back then because president obama all but bragged about that operation as he ran for reelection as you remember everybody kind of assumed that

it was one of those authorized because the administration information all the time to further its own goals but the timing of this particular about the general being investigated is also very interesting he hasn't been charged with any crimes and yet again from an unnamed source that he's being investigated and this is happening at a time when the hunt for edward snowden is in full swing is the administration trying to make a point here trying to sort of say that they are targeting even the sources of those leaks that they liked it really is not clear at this point not clear whether it's their way of trying to fight the perception that the administration gets all the wants and targets only those whose leaks embarrass the government. and act of brutal violence allegedly carried out by a group of syrian rebel fighters has stirred outrage unverified video posted on the internet shows the beheading of three men i should warn you that you may find the

following images rather disturbing. now this footage you're seeing right now purports to show supporters of president bashar assad being decapitated with a knife spectators at the execution include women and children this comes just days after american media citing unnamed officials confirmed that the cia had actually started to arm the syrian rebels are jesus us here looks at the possible ramifications. of bloody conflict raging on for over two years violence to get the syrian president to step down versus more violence from a leader refusing to do so at least ninety thousand lives taken and counting from the get go washington supported the opposition the u.s. is making a terrible mistake in giving this undifferentiated very. over simplified black and white picture of that the rebel opposition really good guys and assad is

the bad guy it's a very very dangerous mistake. dangerous because the opposition is not even close to being a unified political force in reality made up of an array of groups. the free syrian army is a network of thousands of militias and maybe they come up to about eighty thousand people what's scary is how many of these people want you know an extremist government and i think it's more you know it's at least half horrific videos such as this one have shown that in the uprising the enemy can not only be killed but eaten too there's ten thousand fighters with al nusra front which is al qaeda in iraq reconstituted in syria they might as well call themselves you know al qaeda in syria but you know they want to rebrand while the west and russia remain at odds on where u.s. support of the opposition could lead. washington has its mind set on providing vetted groups of rebels with small arms and ammunition they're deluding themselves they think that they can cherry pick which factions of the opposition to support

that somehow or other we can control the flow of weapons because we give them only to select people. many experts indicate that american politicians are kidding themselves if they think the arms flow can ever be managed and this question of how to give arms to one group to keep them out of the hands of another can likely never be answered i don't know if i've even heard a clear and unambiguous answer. the obama administration or any foreign policy on about where those weapons are going and how we can actually secure in the fact that they're going into the right hands but you know who are the right hand be that russia which has been sending arms to the assad government under a contract that began before the violence says that the united states arming the diversified opposite. it would kill not only more people but any hope for peace settlement potentially turning the syrian crisis into never ending chaos like again

a step even if assad is pushed out after years of bloodshed there are no assurances that his departure will bring peace moreover of the us goes ahead with any shape or form of involvement in syria which the opposition would embrace the tide could turn much quicker than american officials may desire loyalties are temporary and guns and weapons like diamonds are forever so today they may be your friend and tomorrow they're pointing to you recent but still not as many as seventy percent of americans want us to stay away from syria let. them out after a decade of warfare in the middle east some while also work for a while and the fire from left to right might be high time you want to rethink. this if you're going to see. leaked diplomatic correspondence from the ecuadorian government suggest that a songe may have been pulling the strings at the country's london embassy in order

to help edward snowden they claim that the wiki leaks founder had asked the consul there to issue a quote save travel pass documents for snowden which was not authorized by the country's government well arty's medina jonah's does live from moore medina i know you are there outside of the sheremetyevo airport what's the latest that you have for us. right well this story is certainly developing now and the wall street journal has recently published information containing diplomatic correspondence within the ecuadorian government and in particular there was information concerning one ecuadorian diplomat who works at the country's embassy in london now that was the diplomat who issued early at the controversial travel documents for mr snowden that sparked a lot of debate now that diplomatic. porting to the correspondence is very well works closely with a jew a week he leads to in the sun and that information sparked

a lot of thoughts that mr asuncion could be perceived as a running the show inadequate door and actually could be in the middle of handling that situation now in response to that of mr son all these is just another terms to really take the away from of the exposures that were made by mr snowden and how important and serious there actually are now are bracing the same commons we have just received from a quick door in price than profile corrals who spoke with who spoke through a direct line with the country's citizens now he said that mr snowden's exposures are important and serious and that they shed some light on a massive u.s. spying out for its now there are also reports that it could order and president carouse has just how it negotiations with the us vice president joe biden and it

was not really revealed so what the agenda was but it was also reported that no decision over at the snowden's asylum application is yet a made a boy as the ecuadorian authorities will certainly looks like a lengthy process thank you so much for keeping us up to date hard to use my day in a question of our reporting there from the sheremetyevo airport thank you. well incoming u.s. national security adviser susan rice has said that snowden's revelations have not weakened the presidency or damage the country's foreign policy meanwhile the father of the whistleblower fugitive believes that the man would return to the united states that is if certain conditions are met and he has actually outlined those terms in a letter that he sends to the u.s. attorney general eric holder now those terms are according to law and the snowden he should not be detained or imprisoned before the trial he should be subjected to a gag order which would basically make it illegal for him to speak publicly about

this and that mr snowden should be able to be tried in fact at a venue of his choosing now the elder snowden admits that he has not spoken to edward since april and he insists that while the x. cia employee committed a crime he is not a traitor the thirty year old n.s.a. whistleblower hasn't been seen since he touched down in russia and while snowden's future has been the subject of intense debate by the world's media investigative journalist duncan campbell believes that it is taking the focus away from what he actually revealed. a lot depends on on russia but i think the russian game will bespeak to stand back and as an international territory we can do nothing and wait for other players to act but i do think that the focus is wrong because all of this distraction about snowden and where the years and what he might do next has completely undermined the tremendous gravity of the successive documents and revelations that he's made about lee the scope of american and allied spying on the

civil and commercial affairs of the world i think that many americans recognize the true values for which their forefathers fought from the war of independence on words who would see in snowden a real hero but that is never going to be the flecked lead in the demographics when the price is so tainted disgracefully so silent in simply reporting what he's got to say if there was a dissident in russia or china or the middle east speaking out in the way that snowden is doing it would have massive coverage that's not happening not even in the washington post which covered this first story. well don't go away we have more stories ahead for you this hour including an embarrassing confession for a german t.v. . after one asterisk says that she was paid by the broadcaster to lash out at russian officials over the pussy riot trial more details on that coming right up.

market. why don't what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. as reports. around sixty people have been arrested in st petersburg as authorities move to subdue a conference. there between nationalist protesters and gay rights activists police in russia's northern capital had separated the two volatile groups in order to

prevent clashes officials such as they had been contacted by locals presumably to stop the gay rights rally from to place they complained that it violated the russian law on what legislators described as the promotion of quota nontraditional sexual relations ok rights and nationalist activists refused to leave their subject to arrest. one of germany's main broadcasters has found itself in a bit of an embarrassing situation it's being accused of paying its gas to criticize russia a celebrity supporter of the protest group pussy riot who had slammed their trial is absurd on air says that she was paid to do so and the channel says that it was all a joke or tease peter all over investigates. after their trial and conviction pussy riot still making headlines that's off the local actress on a title black suggested she was chased by a state broadcaster to talk about the trial i have received money from ted f. to give opinion on the program aspect they pay money for this i cannot tell you how

much money a lot of money is who is one of five celebrities who took part in a discussion show about the trial of the punk collective who were jailed for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred in response to questions from manuel oxon rights magazine the i.d.f. issued this statement. has stressed this was not the case and her expression was of a satirical nature for all it is extremely sorry that her satirical remarks were misunderstood and she asks forgiveness for causing this situation they give the impression all those five if the impression that russia is a harsh dictatorship punishing. her for a little artist action this is the right coverage what's not re presenting at all of the opinion in the german people the a.t.f. is among a group of media outlets that receives their funding from the german license fee with each household expected to contribute around eighteen months the fact that the

german state t.v. shows five celebrities sharing the same opinion on the pussy riot trial and on the pussy riot case is giving a very wrong impression outside also about germany because this gives the impression that we all are thinking the same if. a group like pussy riot would try to do the same thing somewhere in a catholic church itself germany i think they could be happy to be caught by the police and not to be caught by the audience in the church the main cathedral in cologne saw its own pussy riot demonstration the judge eventually issued stiff fines to two of the german participants all the hearing of the third is being despond all without the media rule riggio we saw in. multiple incident despite denials of any wrongdoing from the a.t.f. and it seems questions being raised over the objectivity of german state media peter all of a party girl if you don't go way up next artie crunches the numbers in on the money

that's after a short break stay with us. i love life but there is a lot of sick stuff going on on this planet for example according to bloomberg a hospital in chicago has been accused by the f.b.i. of cutting the throats of patients for big bags of cash a tracheotomy is a procedure to get air directly into the windpipe of someone who can't breathe by cutting a hole into it an f.b.i. affidavit based on tape recording says that the hospital knowingly and purposely sedated patients to the point that they couldn't breathe properly and would need tracheotomy and as you know in the u.s. health care system nothing comes cheap trick out of his own days cost about one

hundred sixty thousand dollars a pop this alleged conspiracy between doctors and management is not the first of its kind at this hospital and administrator and five doctors have already been charged for medicare fraud for giving and receiving kickbacks not only is having a hole punched in your neck for money discussed thing but it may also be lethal because patients at that hospital in chicago are three times more likely to die than patients at other hospitals from tracheotomies throughout the state now how did the f.b.i. find out about this with three employees ratted out the hospital and worked with the f.b.i. to make a lot of incriminating voice recordings these people risk their jobs and possibly much more to do what was right and i salute. i'm reading out evil is no wrong deed but that's just my opinion.
